< תהילים 58 >

לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּֽם׃ הַאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃ 1
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David.] Do you rulers indeed speak righteousness? Do you judge blamelessly, you descendants of Adam?
אַף־בְּלֵב עוֹלֹת תִּפְעָלוּן בָּאָרֶץ חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּסֽוּן׃ 2
No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָֽב׃ 3
The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
חֲמַת־לָמוֹ כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת־נָחָשׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ יַאְטֵם אׇזְנֽוֹ׃ 4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; like a deaf viper that stops its ear,
אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יִשְׁמַע לְקוֹל מְלַחֲשִׁים חוֹבֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּֽם׃ 5
which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
אֱֽלֹהִים הֲרׇס־שִׁנֵּימֽוֹ בְּפִימוֹ מַלְתְּעוֹת כְּפִירִים נְתֹץ ׀ יְהֹוָֽה׃ 6
Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמוֹ־מַיִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָמוֹ יִדְרֹךְ חִצָּו כְּמוֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃ 7
Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ 8
Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
בְּטֶרֶם ׀ יָבִינוּ סִּירֹתֵכֶם אָטָד כְּמוֹ־חַי כְּמוֹ־חָרוֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃ 9
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי־חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָֽׁע׃ 10
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
וְיֹאמַר אָדָם אַךְ־פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק אַךְ יֵשׁ־אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ 11
so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."
